Your doctor will probably run blood tests to check it's not thyroid problems, but deficiency in B vitamins can cause this (especially if you're vegetarian). If you're stressed are you eating well? But do go and see your doctor - I kept putting lots of vague symptoms down to stress and it turned out I was quite ill.

Thanks for the advice and support, to all of you who have replied here and via private messages. I also have white hair and I am only 32. Apart from medical advice, I think I will have to cut my hair really short, in order to make the roots stronger. I have stopped using chemicals. Last time I used hair colour was over 6 months ago.
The first thing to think about is whether you are actually experiencing hairloss- i.e. can you see thinning or is it just that you've noticed more hairs on your hairbrush etc. - if the latter then it really could just be your mind and the stress of thinking your losing hair may well be adding to it!
I'd second going to the doctors. PCOS causes hairloss and 1 in 10 women have it.
